Second period ponderings

COLUMBUS, Ohio Nashville got a nice goal near the end of the period when Sergei Kostitsyn put home a pass from Martin Erat in front.

The move by Barry Trotz to put Kostitsyn and Colin Wilson with more offensive lines is paying off for Nashville tonight as both have goals.

Something to look out for at the start of the second period. Nashville took a too many men on the ice penalty with .6 seconds left. I can’t think of a worse time of a period to take that penalty. Columbus will start the third period basically with a full two minutes of power-play time. That’s going to be a big kill for Nashville.
